Hamilton township, for 17 year old, who was swept away while swimming with friends, in the first day of summer. So jenny joyce is in Hamilton Township with the latest updates, yes, at first we thought they would, the plan was to start as soon as the sun came up, but now having to push it back. Yes. As mike said, they are waiting on low tide. I did talk with some police here, who tell me that when this search does resume, when the recovery effort does happen, we will see all of the emergency crews, coming down, this way, trying to get down to the lake here. Which is a marsh that feeds into the delaware river, so it is now about 14 hours after the 17 year old went missing while swimming at rowan lake, in roebling park yesterday. He was with three other teens celebrating end to the school year when he got suck under by strong current after storms swept through. The missing teen did not know how to swim. The Hamilton Fire Department responded and began their search, the new Jersey State Police searched from the air while diving teams entered the water after four hours in the water, the rescue cue mission turned into recovery operation. That got called off after dark. A boy who was swimming with the missing teen told us that he tried his best to grab hold of the 17 year old, but his hold was not strong enough. The teen is still missing at this hour. The current took him, like reached out, tried to grab him. But like we were like this, and then like since the current so strong it took him away from my hand. And then he went down, he was like going under, coming up, grasp for air, come back down, gasp for air. And then when he went aroundment corner i lost site of him. Hamilton township Swift Water Team dispatched, on the scene in three minute. Approximately 12 firefighters entered the water to start an investigative search for the child. It is considered a recovery operation. All operations for the Fire Department has stopped due to lighting. And concerns for the safety of the firefighters. So, all four teens out here yesterday are resident of Hamilton Township, hammill toll schoon district tells us they will have counselors, on hand, on campus, today, to try to work with any student, who might be a little emotional after hearing that one of their classmate got sucked into the current here yesterday. Mike and alex . Will be emotional. My gosh. Horrible. Okay, we will punch up a shot from Galveston Texas along the gulf coast there. Look how hard it is raining already. This Tropical Storm named cindy, is starting to come ashore now. Certainly in galveston. Well take you live to new orleans, theyre really concerned, theyre expecting 15 to 20inch of rain today. You can really see the rain coming down. We will check in with nora very soon. Okay. All right, 7 06. Coming up 7 07. Frantic moments for mother who left her young daughter asleep in her minivan. Yes, apparently a tow truck driver did tow this van away, didnt notice, this is what he says, and Police Believe him, that he didnt notice it was a seven Year Old Girl in the back seat, in a carseat, in the back of this van, this minivan. Thankfully shall everybodys been reunited all of that. Cops talked to the tow truck driver. Says listen, this is a reposition. I didnt see the kid. So they let him go back to his tow truck with the van behind it, and he towed that van away. So, sabina has more of the details in southwest philly. Sabina . Yes, bizarre circumstances here. You mentioned Police Released that tow truck driver, so, we, in fact, talk to him. The mother right now is being questioned by police. This is 50th and woodland, already towed the minivan away. But going to video we got for you from the scene after all of this happened. Around 2 30 this morning, now the mom tells us, the mom tells police, that she was running into the restaurant where she works at 45th and chestnut for about five minute. It looks like it was a dominos, thats when in those five minutes the reap owe guy came. And he took her minivan away. Like i mentioned, we talked to him. He told us that he visually checked the van, to make sure nobody, or anything was inside, the van is heavily tinted. He says he didnt go inside of the van. And he didnt see the child. So, he started driving away. Well thats when a penn officer on bike patrol caught up with him. He said that she visually checked the car outside, and didnt see the kid. So then he kept going. Again, then, a 12th district officer caught up with him. And that officer again this was the third time this car was being check for the child, where apparently he finally saw little tiny leg, sticking out from a blanket in the back of the car. The kid was fast asleep. She is seven years old, lungly didnt wake up. Realize exactly what was going on, mom and daughter were reunited again here at 50th and woodland so we have a lot of questions for the tow truck driver. Here he is trying to answer some of the questions. Like everybody else, out here in the middle of the night, grabbing cars from people that are del representing went, im not a bad just, this is my job, been doing it for ten years now. Girl was in the third row after minivan. Underneath a blanket, laying down, what look like to be like a box under a blanket or something. So that is why i didnt think anything of it. Well, he didnt think anything of it but the kid was under the blanket. Now he again was released by police. He said hes not being charged with anything, and he was actually able to come back, get his tow truck, take the minivan away as well. So police right now trying to figure out why the mom had the child in her car, again, it was 2 30 in the morning. According to the tow truck driver, he, from his side of things, saying he thinks the mom might have been making deliveries at that time of night. Were not sure. She told police she was only in the store for five minutes. So, again, the kid is okay right now. Were not sure whats going on with the mommas Police Continue to talk to her, guys, back to you. That explains a lot actually. I thought maybe the kid was in a carseat, but no, laying down in the third seat after minivan under a blanket. No wonder he didnt see her. And it was dark because it happened earlier this morning. Yes. Thats why the cops believe the story and now hes back at the job. Sabina, thank you. Two hold out, listen to this, going and talking about the cosby trial now from last week, two, out of the 12, jury members, were hold out, probably stood in the way of the con vick shop of bill cosby in his Sexual Assault case. Remember 52 hours every tense deliberations and end up in a mistrial. One juror because the judge yesterday released the name made them public of all of the jurors. One juror now speaking out about the experience, so thomas has some of the details on what this one juror is saying. It went back and forth, all over the place. So during aint view, mike anal he can, one juror shared that the group initially took a pole, nonbinding pole, before going overall of the evidence, basically saying how do you all feel about the case. Overwhelmingly, they vote today acquit cosby on all three count of aggravated indecent assault. After going over the testimony, that vote quickly changed. The deadlock came after about 30 hours of deliberations over the four days, and at one point the injury coy no longer reach a concensus after voting ten to two to convict on the first and third counts in the 11 to one to acquit on the second count. Juror also mentioned that emotions were running high as deliberations wore on over the five days. Some were in tears, just simply exhausted, as you know, judge oneil declared a mistrial, back on saturday. But prosecutors they plan to retry cosby. We will learn, im sure, from several other jurors as they come forward, some holding out on possible book deals, paid interviews. Of course. Well hear more. Not supposed to be doing any of this. The judge told them not to talk. Well the judge basically told them not to talk about other jurors how they voted. They can talk. They have the option to speak with the media but not to mention i thought also not to talk about the breakdown of the vote. I thought that as well. What i understanded looking over the judges ruling basically dont talk about juror smith, how juror smith voted and his feelings, but youre more than willing to talk to media about the case. Then im not surprised how it turned out f they were all kind of in agreement to acquit him, when they started deliberating. Thats when the questions start. I dont know, im sure you are of served, initially you say this is how i feel, go over the evidence, you start asking each other questions. And then your opinions start to change your minds. Ask for a lot of the testimony to be red back to them, andrea constand, her mother, some of bill cosbys deposition. So they did go through a lot and go back over. People started changing their minds. Exhausting. All right. Thank you, federal investigators say an airport attack in michigan, flint michigan, supply been an act of terrorism. Kind of seems like it. Canadian man allegedly stabbed a Police Officer multiple times at the flint airport while shouting god is great in arabic. This is, hi, doug, what else can you tell me about . Youre at Reagan National airport in arlington. Thats right. Well, you know there is attack happened in kind of this part of the airport. Before you get to the Security Check point, and this has long been an issue, this is not the first time weve seen this kind of attack. Bishop airport in flint evacuated just after what was described as brutal attack. The 49 year old omar, approached of approaching police lieutenant, repeatedly stabbing him with 12 inches knife with 8inch serrated edge shouting god is great. When the subject went up to the officer and stabbed him, he continued to ex claim ala. And he made a statement, something to the effect of you have killed people in syria, iraq and afghanistan, and we are all going to die. The police in montreal served the suspects home. At least one neighbor said he was a nice guy. As for the victim, he was initially list in the Critical Condition but has since improved. Lieutenant neville got him to stop stabbing him. Lieutenant neville fought him to the end, until i was able to handcuff this person. The flint attack had one thing in common with other recent incident. The Brussels Airport attack last year, when a bomber struck near the check in area. And in florida, a shooting in Fort Lauderdale airport claimed five lives in baggage claim. All involved attacks outside Security Checkpoints. And thats long been an issue for security agencies. How do you protect people outside of the Security Check point . You can make the check point itself better and better and better. But, people can be vulnerable before they get to it. Mike and alex. How far out do you make a perimeter around an airport . You just keep going farther and farther away from the terminal. And even still, theyll be right there. Yes. All right, doug, thank you, see you tomorrow. Okay, so we have three camera locations for this Tropical Storm cindy. We got one in galveston, one in bull ex i, mississippi, thats right there, oh, the gulf of mexico is churning. Yes. Look at those waves. Then we have a reporter, at our camera location, in new orleans. This is galveston, now, see a lot of the rain. Galveston, texas. Galveston, texas. Then we head to new orleans now where lawyer send, earlier, an hour ago it, seemed pretty mild. Still seems to be pretty mile where you are now. Hey, mike and alex, it is still actually quite a nice morning here in new orleans, but dont let that fool you. We are under a tornado and a flood watch for the time being. The storm of course did just hit couple of hours ago, about four hours west of where i am right now. And that area is getting hammered with rain. This area bracing for similar rain, if it does hit here, and in the areas that it is hitting they need to be careful and watch for flashflooding. Thats going to be the really dangerous part of Tropical Storm cindy. Real quickly here, i told you about the other location. So, lauren, we will check back with you when the weather goes a little more south. So to speak. Down there in the south. Lets list never on a report here is in biloxi right now. Do we have a reporter talking in galveston . So theyre both in commercial breaks for their tv stations, you can see the light up on the right there. So what i am guessing, i remember toyed do some Tropical Storm coverage when i was in south carolina, you get back into the news van inbetween the times youre on tv so you can stay dry and be able to go back out there. So im pretty sure theyre in the news van. But the photograph is her out there, checking his lighting. Theyre moving around because they dont know we punched this up in philadelphia. Doing report for their local station, where ever that is. But youre right, everybodys in the van except for the photographer. And thats why we pay them so much money. I know, photographers around the city ready to come over here and pun of me in the face. All right, 7 16. We will get back to the gulf coast with a ion cindy. Sue . Yes, just got the latest update on cindy, it is 30 miles west southwest of lake charles louisianna, little further inland, 40mile per hour winds. Show you there is lake charles right there. And there is the eye of the storm. It hasnt lost it Tropical Storm status yet. But it wont be long before it weakens, because only 40mile per hour winds, 39 miles an hour, the thresh hole for a Tropical Storm. But you can see, the bands of rain from that storm, pretty far out from the center. As we go northward, and check our area, lacks look everything okay for now. Had couple of pop up showers earlier, but nothing left of. That will i think okay for the rest of the afternoon. Here is 10 00 tonight. With a little bit of rain rolling through. And then, early tomorrow morning, another rounds of rain. Little break at midday. Then another round for the evening, so, weve got some rain in the forecast that will probably linger into saturday morning, by saturday, we are starting to possibly factor in the renmant of cindy as it continues to move to the northeast. So we can get quite a bit of rain saturday morning. But does look like it will dry out for saturday afternoon. So we put it altogether in the seven day forecast, 90 degrees, possible, today. Hot, not too humid. Humidity comes back tonight and tomorrow. With that chance of showers, and maybe some thunderstorms, saturday morning some rain, 86 y the best weather day of the weekend high of 83. And some comfortable weather as we head into the early part of next week, with temperatures right around 80ish. Monday, tuesday, and wednesday, and dont forget to join us on the radio all morning long 101. 1 more fm. Thats also where you can catch your Weather Authority forecast, bob kelly. 7 18.
